Selection algorithm

A selection algorithm is a computational method used to select the k-th smallest (or largest) element from a list or array of data. This type of algorithm is commonly used in various applications, such as finding the median of a set of numbers or solving problems in statistics and data analysis. **Types of Selection Algorithms:** 1. **Naive Approach**: The simplest selection method involves sorting the entire array and then accessing the element at the k-th position.
